Notes
Use chicken thighs for a juicier result if preferred. Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to maintain even heat. For a dairy-free version, substitute coconut milk and nutritional yeast. Add vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or peas to make it a full meal. Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving to help the sauce thicken naturally.
